ATTACHMENTS ARE NOT RELATIONSHIPS

I need everyone who claims to like SW to understand that. Attachments are not relationships.

It's not about having friends or lovers or people to care about. It's obsessive fear of loss and jealousy. You know what we call that on Earth? Abandonment issues and people pleasing. We go to therapy for that, bc it's not healthy and it makes us miserable.

So why can't Jedi marry? The Jedi believe that children and spouses deserve complete attention. They believe that people deserve present parents and involved partners. Being a Jedi isn't a job. It's a lifestyle. How dare they preach compassion and fairness and justice whilst leaving some abandoned child somewhere? How dare they teach kindness and love and self sacrifice while having a neglected spouse?

That's the difference. That's why Kanan, who no longer lives like a Jedi in the Republic, can have a relationship and not have attachments, and be a good enough Jedi to be knighted. That's why Luke, who loved his father, could be a Jedi. That's why Obi Wan, who loved Qui-Gon, Satine, Bail and Breha, Ahsoka, Anakin, Luke, and Leia and had life-long relationships with them could be a Jedi. That's why Yoda, who loved his family so much that feeling their deaths from across the Galaxy made him stumble, could be a good Jedi.

Relationships were encouraged. That's healthy. That's loving. That's being alive.

Attachment is fear, and fear isn't love. Fear is selfishness.

Fic Author Self-Rec!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Thanking @tjerra14 very much for the tag. Here we go...

And there's no particular order here:

A Last Chance (Star Wars Prequels & Dooku: Jedi Lost, Lene Kostana, T) - The second of my two Order 66 fics and a premise which I'd wondered about a lot - what was it like for a Jedi who'd long since retired from active service? Revisiting Jedi Lost I'd realised that Lene was a perfect Jedi to explore this with, because it would've been especially cruel for someone like her. She's spent all her career warning against the threat of the Dark Side, and now... Having sat with this thought, I very much enjoyed giving her a chance to hit back, at least a little, and help save something of the Order.

Strife Among the Sentinels (Horizon, Kotallo & Ivirra, M) - Nothing against Aloy/Kotallo, but the sheer saturation of the ship mid-2022 had kind of blunted his appeal for me as a character, so it was hugely satisfying to find an idea which really let me connect with his warrior aspect. Plus it's fun to think about just what Tenakth in battle might look like, and if there's one thing I'm pretty much always confident about in my writing, it's action.

In the Footsteps of a Death Seeker (Horizon, Aloy/Ikrie, T) - I've wanted Aloy to have to proper reckoning with her adoptive father's own sojourn outside the Sacred Land (in particular I just feel like there's a parallel to be drawn in terms of Aloy setting out on a deadly journey which could well consume her), and Forbidden West did not deign to feed that appetite. So I sat down and thought, and this came about. I'm very happy about the parallels I put together here, and it was a nice chance to work with Ikrie's insights into Aloy.

The Sunhawk, the New Thrush and the Other Seeker (Horizon, Talanah Khane Padish/Nakoa, T) - It's a rare and precious thing; you alight on a rarepair because you think they could be cute together, then you think for a moment and Oh my god, it's full of parallels...

It's an adventure/romance, I got to delve into both Talanah and Nakoa, indulge with some original Machine ideas and write Milu too. All very enjoyable to write.

Star's Flight (Star Wars, Thane Kyrell/Ciena Ree, T) - This was an exchange gift and I definitely approached it in a spirit of "hoo boy, I like these characters and their dynamic, but where will I get a one-shot from..." and then this erupted out of my head in a couple of weeks. As well as playing with events that could've occurred in the shadow of a favourite film, writing this much starfighter combat was a fun workout. Lots to play with, and writing challenges to navigate. Added to that, getting to write Thane and Ciena so far down the line from their one canon appearance was an interesting challenge.

And the no-pressure tags go to @dreaminghour, @fancyfrey and @chipthekeeper

Having an extremely normal time over here where I go feral gremlin mode only four months in to a new fandom and bang out a 10k fic while simultaneously fully 100%ing Survivor because my brainrot literally will not let me think about anything else.

With that said, please enjoy this self-indulgent Merrical fic with mutual pining, bed sharing, angst, echo owwies and moooore.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Relationships: Cal Kestis/Merrin, Cal Kestis & The Mantis Crew, Cal Kestis & Merrin

Additional Tags: Post-Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars: Jedi: Survivor Spoilers, Fluff and Angst, Pining, Mutual Pining, Sharing a Bed, Fake Marriage, Hurt Cal Kestis, Psychometry | Force Echo, Soft Merrin, BAMF Merrin, Soft Cal Kestis, BAMF Cal Kestis, Sparring, Angst, Mantis Crew as Family, Concussions, Post-Star Wars: Jedi: Survivor, Banter, Hurt/Comfort

Summary:

She would not admit this to anyone, but it scares her how much she has come to care for this crew. The brutal lesson of how quickly and easily loss can strike is etched into her very bones. She looks down at Cal and knows it is the same for him. Her fingers softly comb through his hair, avoiding the back of his head, and trace down his forehead. He stirs, and blinks an eye open to look at her. “Hi,” he whispers. “Hello,” she whispers back. “M’glad you’re here,” he says, and then promptly falls back asleep.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

it just occurred to me that darth vader, master engineer, probably looked at the death star plans at some point and noticed the flaw, but didn’t bother to tell anyone about it because he despised everyone who was involved in the project

#darth vader #death star #star wars #vaderkin being a maliciously compliant chaos gremlin #vader watching the interpersonal politics of the death star project leaders going on about how cool this weapon is like #they aint shit #the power of the death star is notjing compared to the power of the force #and in a way he was right

Hi! RE: your journal about the right for lolicon fiction to exist even if you disapprove of it, would you say it can also exist for titillation purposes, or do you stand by it for artistic reasons, or for the purpose of exploring dark themes only? I always thought you were saying the former, but I just wanted to ask. It's chill if you don't wanna answer this. Have a good day!

Here we are, 15 years on from that blog entry, and I still haven't read any lolicon, I'm afraid, so I have no idea about its themes. The context was whether you should be sent to prison for owning lolicon. What I said back then was,

In this case you obviously have read lolicon, and I haven't. I don't know whether you're writing from personal experience here, and whether you have personally been incited to rape children or give inappropriate hugs by reading it. (I assume you haven't. I assume that Chris Handley, with his huge manga collection, wasn't either. I've read books that claimed that exposure to porn causes rape, but have seen no statistical evidence that porn causes rape -- and indeed have seen claims that the declining number of US rapes may be due to the wider availability of porn. Honestly, I think it's a red herring in First Amendment matters, and I'll leave it for other people to argue about.) Still, you seem to want lolicon banned, and people prosecuted for owning it, and I don't. You ask, What makes it worth defending? and the only answer I can give is this: Freedom to write, freedom to read, freedom to own material that you believe is worth defending means you're going to have to stand up for stuff you don't believe is worth defending, even stuff you find actively distasteful, because laws are big blunt instruments that do not differentiate between what you like and what you don't, because prosecutors are humans and bear grudges and fight for re-election, because one person's obscenity is another person's art.

Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you've already lost.
